You left out the fascists, racists, theocrats, Q-believers, climate deniers, anti-science lunatics, and insurrectionist apologists.

And leaving those groups out is the existential problem facing America: the inability or unwillingness to identify and call out the all-too-real threat those groups pose to democracy, human rights, the planetary ecology, and a generally sane world. 

The incredulitys and fattys of this country scoff at this.  But you are correct.

 A Warnock/Pete ticket in either order would be aces. 

Admittedly I don't know that much about Warnock, but out of principle alone I want no part of a Baptist pastor in the white house. bullshit sky daddy politics is fucking up this country, and no matter how good a guy Warnock may be, its a precedent that will only lead to more bullshit. The GQP is attempting to obliterate the separation of church and state, and I would prefer the Dems not assist in the process.

[elfenix 34243]

believing without any evidence in a magical friend in the sky who created the entire earth 6000 years ago is just as valid as understanding a mathematically describable scientific theory which is testable (and keeps passing them) and makes useful predictions.

Michelle Obama would not survive the full campaign.  She would be assassinated well before she has the chance to be elected.  The violent right in this country went absolutely batshit because we elected a black man president.  They will NOT allow a black woman to take the office.  They will kill her before that can happen.  They have already gone full-terrorist, what on God's green earth makes you think they wouldn't keep doing so, and assassinate a racially inferior threat to Real Americans now?

Well many of them think that she is a he so…..

I am tired of families running this country. To Monarchy like for my taste.

Counterpoint: if they want to up their chances of grabbing and maintaining full electoral control of this country, than the GQP DESPERATELY wants and needs a voting population that suffers from reduced intelligence, cognition, and the like.  Low-IQ lead-poisoned voters is the dream voting bloc for the GQP.

Let’s not forget unleaded gas wasn’t a thing until the 1970s and wasn’t completely phased out until 1996. 
 

The people running this country and a huge portion of active voters very likely inhaled lead for the majority of their formative years. May explain why we are where we are.

There’s a theory out there, not widely accepted or anything, that the amount leaded air during the 60s and 70s jacked with everyone’s brains and was part of the reason there were so many more serial killers during that era.
